Arianna's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria: Authentic Italian Cuisine in Richmond

First time at Arianna's for me, but one of our party had enjoyed this place before. Seems most of the Italian dishes (pastas, meatballs, etc) are made fresh on site. I had a Philly Cheesesteak thing and it was the best one I've had in years. Great bread, not on a sub roll. I don't know what made it so tasty, but it was! My friend LOVED the meatballs (see pic) . My wife got "two slices" and it looked like half of a pizza! Great server (nice young man), tasty food in good portions and though the atmosphere is nothing "uptown", it is very pleasant and welcoming. A perfect little fan (west) eatery. We'll be back!!

I just checked them out today, for first time. Our server, Ashley, was amazing. My daughter got the kids cheese pizza and it's about the size of a medium pizza from commercial places. It tasted awesome tho. I got the small Mediterranean salad and it's two servings worth...can't imagine how big the large is lol. I also ordered their rosemary chicken and subbed in penne pasta instead of spaghetti. The sauce/juice tastes great, but the chicken breasts seemed "naked" on delivery. I added salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and asked for some Parmesan shavings... definitely stepped it up. Ashley went above and beyond. As a professional cook myself, I almost feel a blackened chicken breast would compliment this meal best. It comes w sauteed peppers and spinach w red Onion. We will definitely be back as their menu is extensive. It was a great experience overall

This was my 1st time at this location. We visited the Lakeside location a few years back, the clazo e is my Uncle's favorite. We came to this location to celebrate his birthday. It did not disappoint!! Food, service atmosphere were all 5+ stars, would definitely return!!

We tried this place today and it was amazing! Our server was the best and the food was incredible. The bread that they serve with the pasta is so good. We had the Penne Boscaiola, Chicken Villaggio, and Chicken Limone and all three dishes were delicious!! The portions are perfect and the prices are reasonable. You won't walk away still hungry!! Can't wait to come back!

my boyfriend turned 21 and for his birthday we went to a distillery that wasnt too far from this place. he wanted italian so i found this place on google maps and brought him here. we were greeted by the friendliest waitress who was so down to earth and her style was awesome. my bf had the garlic cheesy bread as an appetizer. it was super big and filling. he ordered the spaghetti for his meal and i ordered this meal that had shrimp, crab, and lobster and was stuffed inside these long pasta noodles and served with a shrimp vodka sauce (i forgot the name of the meal because i hardly eat italian food). it was the most amazing thing that ive eaten in such a long time. i was shocked at the flavor that this dish produced. the shrimp, crab, and lobster tasted authentic and didnt taste like it was process or faked. the shrimp vodka sauce was like nothing i ever tasted before. it took everything in my power to not pick up the plate and start licking it in the restaurant. i seriously have not tasted anything so good. great experience for my bf birthday. definitely a go to spot for now on.

We ordered through DoorDash, we got penne pasta, garlic knots and Nutella doughnuts. There was sooo much food and everything was absolutely delicious but most of all the garlic knots were hands down the best I’ve ever had.

Found this place by accident and I'm happy I did , I had the best Chicken Alfredo with fresh baked bread & butter. I was worried the portion would be small , thankfully the dish was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to return to the area to enjoy & explore some more of the menu.

One of my favorite places to order pizza from in Richmond. Their signature specialty pizza is very good especially for the price. My job orders from the lakeside location when we want pizza since it’s close by. Other favorites of mine is the seafood cannelloni and garlic knots! Sometimes the pasta dishes can be too salty but otherwise pretty decent. I believe the woman manager (?) is always working hard and checking on people to ensure they are satisfied, which is appreciated. This location can get busy in the evening so best to arrive earlier for dinner.
